译文: 这一序列 主要是基/于 (一系列的)(与冰川期和间冰期并不直接相关的)沉积物和事件做出的而不是 / 更为通常使用的现代方法 /,[去研究(间冰期的地层中的)生物遗迹,(这些遗迹位于冰川沉积物的各个层面之间)]。

explain

解释: 句子中rather than之后省略了与前面重复的being based ,直接加上了介词on。Modern method后面的部分都是修饰method的。其中的remains既可以作动词,也可以作名词,此处是名词的用法,biological remains指的是类似于动物化石之类的遗迹。读到这里我们看到了句子的难点,themselves即可以指前面离得很远的的modern method(当然,在语法上来讲单复数不一致),也可以指前面离得较远的biological remains,亦可以指紧挨着的interglacial beds,到底是指代哪一个,只有通过理解句意,才能确定在此处指biological remains。
